"The College-Level Examination Program was established so that individuals, whatever their age, can earn credit for what they've learned in life no matter where or how they learned it which is directly applied to college graduation requirements," said Gary Dunford, SUSC Director of Counseling and Testing. Over 1,000 SUSC students have earned CLEP credit since the national program was established in 1971. Most of them, Dunford said, earn around 12 credits but some have earned, or "CLEPed," over 20 hours. SUSC awards a maximum of 48 hours in general education areas. "Students can take tests in one or more areas," the SUSC . counselor said, indicating that a number of specialized tests, or subject examinations, are also available through the CLEP program. |
